"Client 9" T-shirts hit the Web

Tue Mar 11, 2:59 PM ET

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Who really is "Client 9?"

The New York Times says it's the code name for New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer in court papers that link him to a prostitution ring, but now anyone can be "Client 9" with T-shirts available online just a day after the scandal broke.

From simply "Client 9" with a large lipstick smooch over the top to "Just Call Me CLIENT 9," designers on Web sites like www.cafepress.com and www.zazzle.com are cashing in on reports that Spitzer had hired a high-priced prostitute.

"Look like a governor in this stylish CLIENT 9 design," one designer advertises on www.cafepress.com.

The two online retail sites allow designers to upload their own graphics to print on products such as T-shirts and mugs.

DANG IT!!! I was going to do something like this last night! UGH... A day late and a dollar short again! LOL

Although, perhaps it’s not best to profit from someone else’s misery and failings...

You just have to wonder what kind of person decides it would be cool to wear a T-shirt that says, “I’m a [wannabe] john.”

Probably the same ones that would finish off their ensemble with this cap:

I can’t take credit for it - someone already created a tee shirt with that on it.

I think the forum rule is that you have to give credit to the original poster for the first three times you use it.

Then after that it's yours.

what I'm hearing in the odd check-out line (at least from the loudest voices there) is all about how stupid he was to get caught; how "dude, I'm a nobody, and I'm not even that stupid."

It's as if people are all about the tacticts -- the act itself seems to be as any other. He might as well have been caught speeding. I have heard little outrage about the despicable moral failure.

It's disappointing; and also amazing how much influence any position of leadership carries. "If he did it, it's OK if I do it, as long as I'm not stupid enough to get caught." The hubris in this place could drown someone.
